Hughes Seeks OK to Add Skyware Global Terminals

Hughes wants FCC International Bureau OK to operate up to 100,000 Skyware Global remote earth terminals in the fixed satellite service. An application Friday for special temporary authority said it held a Ka-band blanket license to operate numerous FSS earth terminals for use in providing broadband, with the satellites communicating with five separate ones, and it wants a 60-day STA to operate Skyware Global earth terminals alongside the others authorized under the license. It said the terminals will operate in the 28.35-28.6 GHz and 29.25-30 GHz bands for uplinks and the 18.3-19.3 GHz and 19.7-20.2 GHz bands for downlinks.
